How to Activate Subconscious Mind

The subconscious mind is part of the brain that stores information such as memories, beliefs and previous experiences. The above information is, however, not available and can never be found in the conscious mind.

Activating the subconscious mind is the process of feeding it with the programs that exist in our conscious mind, but we now aim at making them permanent.

For example, you could have a positive thought in your conscious mind but your subconscious does not have the program and mind you the subconscious is bigger and powerful than the conscious mind.

In simple terms is that the subconscious mind occupies about 95% and the conscious mind occupies 5%. So when something good springs up in your conscious mind, unless the subconscious has the program to support it then it will remain just a thought.

When you activate the subconscious you are able to turn the desires and wishes of the conscious mind into reality.

How do you activate the subconscious mind?

Affirmations

Affirmations are more of a wake-up call, they remind you each and every day of what you aim to achieve and that you must put in the effort to achieve it.

So every day you have to activate your subconscious mind with positive affirmations and here we are not just talking about the word of mouth but rather attaching emotions to your affirmations.

Whatever it is that you want it has to come from deep inside you, not just for the sake of saying, but with a passion to get the program written and stored in your subconscious mind.

Positive affirmations need to be consistent, for them to be effective, even if things seem stuck, you have to keep repeating the affirmations and remove the deadlock between your subconscious and conscious mind.

Meditation

Meditation helps in stress reduction, it helps people to control anxiety and lengthens the attention span. Now if you are experiencing all the above, or one of them there is no way that you can tap into your subconscious mind and activate it.

Therefore, when you meditate you get rid of all the above issues, your mind becomes more receptive is calm and can then take in programs that you want to install.

If you have tried meditation, you must have noticed that when you are calm, your breathing is also slow but when you have thoughts running all over your mind your breathing becomes fast.

Mind you there is no way you can access your subconscious when your mind is not at the theta range.

Therefore, meditation helps you to calm your mind bringing it down to theta and from there you can then understand what it is that you need to change thus activate it in your subconscious mind.

Visualization

Ever heard of the old adage “it is all in the mind,” do you believe it, well we do hope that you believe in it because it does work and can help activate your mind.

What you need to do is just to visualize yourself doing something or achieving a certain goal in life that you so much desire to achieve. But remember this one works like affirmations, so you have to visualize every day.

If you find that you keep forgetting then you can get a visualization board and get pictures of everything that you want to achieve or the things that you want to be in your life and feed them to your mind every day.

It, therefore, becomes a constant reminder and before you realize it you will have achieved each and every one of them, the reason being that whatever it is that you want is in your conscious mind, but now you need the subconscious to work in tandem with the conscious mind so that you can realize your dreams.

Try new things

You have no idea how getting out of your comfort zone can help activate your subconscious mind. Doing the same things day in day out is sort of cliché for your brain, but once you get out of your comfort zone, your brain gets activated and you thus create new neural pathways.

When you eat food that you have never eaten before, or travel to a place that you have never been to before, or just take a different route from the one that you are used to, the neurons in your brain start to connect in a new way. Your subconscious, therefore, becomes more flexible and receptive to doing different and new things.

Hypnosis

So what better way can you activate your mind other than through sleep hypnosis, your conscious mind has your desires and your wishes, but your subconscious mind does not recognize the things that you desire in life, so activate it via sleep hypnosis.

What’s more, is that most of the sleep hypnosis music does have affirmations that are downloaded to the subconscious when the conscious mind is shut during sleep.

And remember hypnosis is not a one of thing but rather consistent, you have to do it every day, just like how a small kid learns to read the alphabet or when you are trying to get the perfect physique, and have to exercise every day till you achieve what you want.

Important to note is that the subconscious mind of an adult is activated by habit and repetition.

Listen to music

Music has the ability to influence our lives in more ways than we actually realize. Ever questioned yourself why people tend to work faster and do tasks that initially seemed impossible just by listening to music, well because it soothes the mind.

What’s more, is that it helps fight depression. Many people when depressed will turn to music to help get their mind off things and in the process get healing.

And as we all know, you can never activate your subconscious when your mind is filled with worry and confusion but once you are relaxed, you are able to focus and influence the thoughts of your subconscious mind.

Don’t dwell on automatic thoughts

Many a time we tend to believe the thoughts that bounce into our minds, we rarely take time to analyze them and that is how most people end up depressed.

Now the best way to deal with the negative thoughts that keep popping up in our subconscious is to remind ourselves that they are just thoughts and not the reality.

This is one way of being conscious of what our mind is up to, and therefore don’t have to dwell on everything that it throws at us as the gospel truth.

Listen to your mind

Do you ever feel like you need a break, maybe you were reading and your mind is telling you to take a break, do you act on the instructions?

At times you might have something bothering your mind for a while, for example, there is this book that you have been wanting to read, so your mind is thirsting for it and your subconscious keeps telling you to read that book, read that book.

What do you do? Maybe you don’t have a lot of free time or you keep procrastinating, which is actually very wrong because the more you postpone the more your mind gets distracted and is unable to focus on important matters.

So the best that you can do for yourself is to get that book and read it or take a break to let your brain repair itself, just get the distractions out of the way and activate your subconscious.

Having positive thoughts is not a bad thing but you also have to be keen to program your subconscious mind to be in synchronization with the conscious mind so that you can achieve your life desires.
